| Sea Strippy, 50" x 43.5" |
As I organize and condense fabrics, groups that seem to go together appear. There was a small bundle of fish prints, most cut WOF but different widths. There would have been a lot of waste trying to come up with cut sizes that would fit together. In the green drawer a piece of solid jade green fabric popped out that went with all the prints, and I realized a scrappy strippy quilt would work. A couple of the pieces had short rectangles, and one print was just a small chunk, so they became a scrappy strip. A two-yard piece of a similar green fabric (a not quite what I expected online sale purchase) worked for the backing and binding.
Such a simple quilt, quilted with a quick wavy line that looks like ocean waves, and it made me so happy to put these fabrics to use in a small Kid's charity quilt. Working in a smaller scale is fun for a change, and is helping to use up batting scraps.
